<p>@Matisyahu: Hhaha. Well, are you boy or girl? I mean begin new life at U-M haha</p>
<p>@Dreamingowl boy lol. Yeah I know what you meant. I’m sure you will be accepted soon.</p>
<p>@Matisyahu: Thank you very much for your wishes! Well I would have to keep a psych preparation for being rejected, since last semester when I was rejected by my favorite women colleges which I missed during high school, I naively collapsed and turned off UNC.</p>
<p>So I called the college of engineering last friday, and they gave me the same answer, only this time a bit specific on the time frame. They say they are currently processing, and hopefully will give out most decisions before December, the earliest will be in November…
the efficiency of an Engineering college… Seriously…?</p>
<p>@Matisyahu Congratz man! So which major are you choosing?
@Dreamingowl they will sure want you, think positive!</p>
<p>@cn9a51 Political Science. My counselor emailed me and said I won’t receive decision for another few weeks but I was accepted around 10 hours later. So just stay patient and I’m sure you will get in.</p>
<p>@cn9a51 - Ah, that sucks. You’d think the college of engineering would have their stuff together to make decisions efficiently. Hopefully you’ll hear good news sooner rather than later.</p>
<p>@Dreamingowl - Don’t worry! I’m sure you’ll get in. I know that Michigan has people who monitor the “grade deflation” that goes on in colleges throughout the nation. They’ll take that into account. We’ll all be congratulating you soon. Best thing to do right now is to focus on this semester’s work. I know it’s tough (I’ve been obsessively checking my email and WA every time I’m on my computer lol), but we’ll get decisions eventually. cn9a51 is right - stay POSITIVE!</p>
<p>Is anyone else here planning on going into history? And does anyone else have Katy Thostenson as their admissions counselor?</p>
<p>@redsdave03 I might do History or Political science. Depends. I’m planning on going to law school so I need to keep my GPA as high as possible.</p>
<p>CONGRATULATIONS romaOnCC—You’re IN!</p>
<p>Going to LS&A from MSU as a Computer Science/Math major. Good luck everyone else in this thread. I know I didn’t earlier but should I post the GPA/credits I had?</p>
<p>@redsdave03: Thanks so much for your encouragement! Recently I do not check WA much often now but just wait. I am struggling for my International Politics notes now. I hope you also a positive and brighter result soon!</p>
<p>@romaOnCC yeah you should. Congratulations by the way.</p>
<p>My Stats:
GPA: 4.0
Credits: 60+.</p>
<p>@romaOnCC: Congratulations !!!</p>
<p>@RomaOnCC - Congrats!!! MSU will not happy losing the both of us to U of M. My friends here have been calling me a “traitor.” lol</p>
<p>I have a very naive question. Does U-M a very very great enough university which enables students achieve their “American Dream”?</p>
<p>@Dreamingowl can you restate the question please?
@megagamerexe hey did you have to hand in new financial aid forms after getting accepted? Did you receive financial aid etc? And housing forms?</p>
<p>@Dreamingowl - I have no idea what you are trying to ask. The “American Dream” on its own is a vague concept because it can mean something completely different depending on the individual person trying to obtain it. If you are asking if U-M provides you with plenty of opportunities to do what you love (be it through clubs, extra-curriculars, or classes that interest you), then yes. It does have all of those things. Whether or not going to U-M means that you will or won’t be successful in life (in which every way you define success), I can’t answer definitively. I certainly hope it helps at least a little bit. </p>
<p>Something else that I’ve noticed about your posts, you are WAY too nervous. It hasn’t even been 2 weeks of processing, and yet you are worried about a decision. Just breathe dude. You are most likely going to receive a decision in 4 - 6 weeks. Myself, Albo, d4wnzz, Matisyahu, and others sent our apps off in August to early September, so we can definitely relate when it comes to waiting. I waited 10 weeks after submitting all of my materials to receive a decision. It’ll come in time. Posting on here every couple of hours about a decision this early in the game won’t make the decision come any faster. Just try to do something that will take your mind off of U-M for a little while. I know that it is difficult, but stressing out over something you have no control over won’t do you any good. We’ll all be hearing the good news about your acceptance soon. :)</p>
<p>Congrats, romaOnCC!</p>
<p>@Dreamingowl - It depends on what your definition of the “American Dream” is. That’s a very broad term to describe success, which in turn is another broad term. There are many ways in defining it. Michigan is regarded as the best public university in the United States. Its reputation is incredible. Go anywhere, and if you say you graduated from the University of Michigan, people will definitely see you in a different light. That said, the unemployment rate for college graduates is at an all-time high. Graduating from Michigan does not guarantee you a job. I’d like to think that it helps to open more doors, but there is a certain amount of luck that goes into being “successful.” I guess I’d say that it can only help in achieving your dream. I hope that helps a little, but that’s a pretty tough question</p>
<p>@Matisyahu - I can’t answer anything about financial aid unfortunately. Since U of M is in-state for me, I didn’t need to receive any financial aid. My options for college were essentially limited to Michigan State and Michigan. Had I have gone out-of-state, it would have been a different story. In terms of housing forms and setting up orientation dates, I read somewhere that we would receive emails about those 2 weeks after submitting our deposits. They won’t start sending those out until mid-November though, so we have some time yet.</p>
<p>@megagamerexe and @Matisyahu and @redsdave03: </p>
<p>Sorry for my confusing question. I was just watching the Youtube of President Obama’s speech at UMichigan and he mentioned that U-M is a place for achieving “American Dream”. “And you are here to receive its education.” Well that would be exactly what you illustrated above. </p>
<p>@megagamerexe: Thanks for your advice. You are right, I should chill down. I think one major reason which makes me nervous unusually is because I am a junior status applicant. I have my pressure about timing my college experience plan. </p>
<p>Thank you all for your best wishes and good luck to me!</p>
<p>I am really getting worried now. U of M received my application 9/14 and I still haven’t heard anything and my counselor hasn’t responded to my email I sent over a week ago! Congrats to everyone that had got in so far!! :)</p>
